Hi, I just wrote a simple Nix expression for GNU Guile 1.8.2:
{stdenv, fetchurl, gmp, readline}: stdenv.mkDerivation { name = "guile-1.8.2"; src = fetchurl { url = "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile/guile-1.8.2.tar.gz"; md5 = "a4b64a992deae0532f8015bcc6c40784"; sha1 = "b5c624b152a45f302e185e20a468a02f2eb73e38"; }; buildInputs = [gmp readline]; } Now, I would like to try it out, but "nix-build guile-1.8.nix" won't do the job, because I need to fill in the arguments. Section "5.1.3. Composition" of the manual suggests adding the new derivation to `all-packages.nix', but that seems rather inconvenient. What is the recommended way to add new packages that build upon those already in `all-packages.nix'? Thanks, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@cs.uu.nl https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
